That's why I chose mostly developed countries when I posted. Edit: I just realized that the link was changed. What I had initially was this: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cancer-incidence?tab=char...

Both Gemini and ChatGPT gave quite detailed answers showing the input values, the intermediate calculations, the assumptions made. I chose to only give the final result here. But see another comment from me with details.

Since folks are downvoting this comment, here's what Gemini told me, and which sounded reasonable to me. Let me know if something sounds wrong: Paint thickness: 120 microns (0.00012 meters) Typical car surface area: Assuming a medium-s

I never thought about the weight of the paint. I asked LLMs how much a coat of paint of 120 microns would weigh. Between 5 and 8 pounds apparently.

I had no idea Duralex glasses are special. I bought some from Carrefour because I liked the shape and they were cheap (1€ per glass iirc).

No idea, but seeing how often they show it, I think they agree it's abusive.

> On the Freiburg-Basel route, as many as 12.4 percent of trains had to turn back. This is not as dramatic as it sounds, since Basel is at the border. There's probably many trains into town.

Based on kdrama, this seems common in Korea. You're 10 seconds late, you can't enter the school grounds.

I don't read news but I read too much twitter. I curated my following base carefully so now almost everything on the timeline is interesting/insightful/funny. Problem is it's still junk food and of little long term value

I think I want to finally do this. I _can_ find excellent tomatoes around here (France), but they are 27 euro/kg, more than beef.

Cities don't install enough sensors. They are probably the best way to improve traffic outside busy times. The coolest implementation I've seen was in Los Alamos. The sensor was way ahead of the intersection so by the time I got t

There's so much talk of replenishing gut biota, of changing its composition, but I still don't have a mental image of how easy and how fast that can be done. Is it a matter of days? weeks? more?

You can get your data from the edf.fr site. In your account, under "Ma consommation d'électricité" there is a button "Télécharger mes données". It comes as a zip of csv files with daily and monthly values.

It's a cute remark, but why is 50 minutes the right cutoff? For a technical talk it seems long. For an entertaining keynote it seems short. Movies are 90+ minutes.

Here in France there seem to be a lot of subsidies for physical activity. For example, each town has a swimming pool, used by kids and adults alike, with very cheap membership. Then there are the associations, each focused on an activity --

It really depends on your personality. If you're used to the niceties of the west, you may be frustrated by many things in Romania. The infrastructure is still behind. If you're more laid back you adapt and learn to enjoy. Being h

I assume the reason is that the traffic naturally goes slower when the lanes are narrower. But it's strange that the article avoids any kind of attempt to explain it. Unless I missed it.

He got mostly the Pfizer vaccine (called BNT in the spreadsheet), but not just. Early on he got J&J, AstraZeneca and Moderna. Later also Sanofi. In January and February 2022, he went almost twice a day, every day!
